Sure signs that Autumn has arrived in South Queens: The Fall Festival in Forest Park in Woodhaven, and the Howard Beach Lindenwood Civic Haunt & Treat.
The Fall Festival, which is funded ijn part by Councilwoman Joann Ariola (R-Ozone Park), attracted thousands of revelers to Victory Field inside the 544-acre Woodhaven green space last Saturday.
The weather cooperated as families from all over the borough enjoyed free activities, including bounce houses, face painting, a pumpkin patch, games, and dancing.
“It was a wonderful day at the fall festival! I’m so proud to have partnered with @NYCParks @NYPD102Pct to continue this event for the residents of District 32,” Ariola tweeted.
Ariola also thanked the civic “for hosting another successful community Haunt and Treat! A great time was had by all!”
